Alive & Kicking Coding Competition Entries

The deadline for the Alive & Kicking Coding Competition has just passed, and here’s now a final list of all the entries that made it through ! There’s a lot of good stuff this time around and some very creative entries as well.

As you know there were 4 categories, and most of them were densely populated with entries except for the New Original Game category. It makes sense since it’s the category that requires a lot of skills in many different areas in order to be able to release something.

If you want to see the entries with all the links, here’s the boards thread.

uPIM by Commander-beef

Some pretty interesting stuff here. I won’t talk about them all here, but just a few that I can personally relate to: I don’t have a 3D printer but Printrun enables 3D printing directly from the Pandora, it’s really a cool idea to have this in a pocket format. Bard Storyteller brings voice-reading to the Pandora, which is great if you want to read something without looking at the screen. Flashenv is the new Apkenv, making it possible to play flash games full screen with custom controls.

Ziz coming back on his previous competition entry to make a major overhaul of it. Canseco and his numerous works on the audio applications for Pandora.

New Original Game [ 4 Entries ]

Pandora NanoLemmings by wb

PewPewTris by slaeshjag

GFMTSERFGJ by undexsym

8Bit Merchant by Commander-beef

Few entries here but all of them of high quality. wb taking the concept of Lemmings further, slaeshjag mixing Tetris and a shooter in PewPewTris, an awesome shooter in 3D, albeit his long name, by undexsym, and an economic simulation (together with a Where in the World is Carmen San Diego kind of game concept) in the world of 8 bit computers by Commander-beef. Well done to all.
